I think sometimes, the issue is interpretation. The stroke arcs naturally - it's a matter of degree. And some people do funny things with their elbows and wrist to arc the stroke which makes it worse. But I have seen 2200 players deliberately arc their strokes by turning the wrist inwards and...

The first point, you have to go to 4:43 in to see the point. The second video you have to go to 25:53. After seeing the points, I want to ask two questions. Assume you were a high level coach and asked to analyze these points: 1. Which point do you find more impressive? 2. Which point do...

Hmmm... Seems I underestimated you the last time we played. A worthy opponent. I look forward to our next match.

Quadri Aruna, who is in the world top 30, played Chuan Chi Yuan, who has been perennially in the world top 10 (well over a decade). After the match, Aruna said that CCY didn't let him play, that CCY brought his own ball it seemed (Aruna was speaking metaphorically). The LA Open final between...

It really depends on the organizers. One Butterfly club uses Butterfly 40+ (not G40+) which is why I pretty much almost never play there though I might play their league the Friday after the coming one. Another Butterfly club uses the Nittaku 40+ at cost to the club. Two other clubs use XSF...

As a wise man once told me, you need to post video to get proper feedback. Without the video he posted for us, Archosaurus would still be Ma Long in his head watching idiots like NextLevel play ping pong.

Contact the manufacturer/distributor of your robot - you may need to either clean the balls or tweak something to get the robot to work with the 40+ balls as it was clearly designed for the 40 balls.

Here are two videos by Samson Dubina - he doesn't discuss no spin but the concept of friction he describes is helpful. This is what most lower level players don't understand and something many higher level players do intuitively but struggle to teach.

The difference between you and me one one hand and archo on the other is that both of us had USATT ratings and (I guess for you but definitely for me) did not misrepresent our levels. I drove people crazy enough that they thought I was a troll on mytt. Some people still consider me the most...

You aren't supposed to get the same level of spin for obvious reasons which you will realize when you have more experience or logically figure out since you like to do so. You just try to get as much as you can.

I avoided answering to spare someone a regurgitated answer in the future.

I will say this - I never loop to choppers consistently unless they have an attack that puts me under pressure or my loop is just eating their chop for breakfast. In fact, I think that unless you have a really good loop against backspin and are winning points, looping repeatedly to a chopper is...

I should be playing at Lily Tip on Sunday, even with my crappy knee. I am always up for the challenge. Mr Song is a good player.

Playing choppers is really about patience and figuring out what the chopper struggles with in your arsenal. You also don't want to simply hit the ball at someone who is playing back far enough from the table to return it. The main reason why you don't want to play choppers with your backhand...

To get proper feedback, you need to post videotape. You have gotten good advice so far.

Since my official USATT is 2030, and Der_Echte puts me at 2025-2050, I think Der_Echte needs to figure out what the word "fraud" really means and whether he is speaking Korean, German or English as that might have something to do with it. Now Der_Echte is truly a fraud. Unfortunately, my...

It's easy to describe what other people do. Contrary to some popular wisdom, we can say exactly the same thing and mean something different. This applies here as well.

We kill people to show that you may get killed for killing people. Deterrent not equivalent.

If I told you, I would have to kill you. ;)
